Ben:
[to Selina] Remind me, you said what? Your response needs to be what?
Selina:
"Robust."
Ben:
"Robust." [to SecDef Maddox] And you said?
SecDef Maddox:
"Aggressive."
Ben:
You see the problem?
Selina:
No, I don't.
Ben:
They're different words! Yeah, and saying different words means what? It means, we're not on the same...
Selina:
...diet?
Ben:
Page!
Selina:
Oh! I thought you were gonna say "diet," Ben! I don't like your tone.
SecDef Maddox:
And I don't have to answer to you, Ben. Or to Lara Croft here for that matter.
Ben:
Yeah, perhaps not. But we all work for the President.
Selina:
Oh, where is the Great and Powerful Oz, by the way??
Ben:
Listen, we all know the White House would work so much better if there wasn't a President but there is. So, we work around that. And we do that by sticking to the same fucking words.
SecDef Maddox:
And it's your job to coordinate that, maestro!
Ben:
That's right. So from now on the words are "calculated response."
Selina:
"Calculated?" That sounds so...
SecDef Maddox:
...calculated?
Selina:
Pussy-ass! That's what I was gonna say.
